[QUOTE="mr. b_98GT, post: 15281806, member: 150353"] I installed the MM Aluminum Rack Bushings not too long ago along with MM CC plates, Bilstein HD's, H&R Race Springs, MM Iso's, and new stock style balljoints. I wasn't too happy at first with the aluminum bushings because I was getting a popping sound when I turned, and I could feel it in the steering wheel. I realized that the rear bushing was making contact with the k-member. I had to re-install them a few days ago to clear the k-member from the bushings because it was causing a binding issue (MM instructions explain this, I just didn't do it the first time I installed them). Now, the steering feels very nice, and I'm really pleased with the whole set-up. I'll be getting a MM Bumpsteer Kit for it sometime this year, then the only thing I want to do to the front suspension will be the MM Steering Shaft. If you are debating lowering springs, go with H&R Race Springs. They are not as steep of a drop as other springs, and the car will still have a raked look with the rear sitting higher than the front; I doubt if weight transfer suffers that much with them. I also went with MM Iso's (Prothane Poly Iso's), which raises the car a little more over stock ones. I bought the car with cut springs in the front, and Eibach springs in the rear, and there was very little to no fender gap. I bottomed out and scraped like crazy. Now, I don't have to worry about bottoming out, and I can clear 99% of speed bumps, driveways, etc. Car sits lower than stock, so the 4x4 look is gone. [/QUOTE]
